(Verse 1)
Sunrise paints the room, another day begins
But the shadows linger, the battle from within
My hands are shaking, my head is in a haze
Lost in the wreckage of these wasted days
I see your face, etched with worry and despair
Knowing I'm the cause, this burden you must bear
(Chorus)
This ain't a choice, it's a grip I can't release
A monster inside me, stealing my inner peace
I'm screaming for help, but the words just fade away
Trapped in this darkness, lost more every day
I see the pain I inflict, the tears you try to hide
And the fear takes hold, knowing I could die inside
(Verse 2)
I try to quit, I swear I give my all
But the cravings whisper, and I stumble and I fall
The world shrinks down, to this burning, aching need
Ignoring the whispers of the love I'll supersede
I see your outstretched hand, a lifeline in the night
But I'm too far gone, lost in the fading light
My hand reaches out, not for your loving touch
But for the bottle, I crave it so much
(Chorus)
This ain't a choice, it's a grip I can't release
A monster inside me, stealing my inner peace
I'm screaming for help, but the words just fade away
Trapped in this darkness, lost more every day
I see the pain I inflict, the tears you try to hide
And the fear takes hold, knowing I could die inside
(Bridge)
I know I'm hurting you, more than words can say
This self-destruction, it eats me away
I see the future, a vision stark and clear
A lonely grave, fueled by all this fear
And the thought of leaving you, alone in this world
Shatters my heart, a banner unfurled
But the craving's stronger, the pull is too deep
I reach for the bottle, while you silently weep
(Verse 3)
I want to change, I yearn to break these chains
But the addiction whispers, driving me insane
I'm caught in the crossfire, a battle I can't win
Knowing the darkness will swallow me from within
I see your love, a beacon in the night
But I'm afraid to reach, afraid of the light
The bottle's in my hand, a temporary fix
A false sense of comfort, a cruel, deadly trick
(Chorus)
This ain't a choice, it's a grip I can't release
A monster inside me, stealing my inner peace
I'm screaming for help, but the words just fade away
Trapped in this darkness, lost more every day
I see the pain I inflict, the tears you try to hide
And the fear takes hold, knowing I could die inside
(Outro)
Is there a way out, a chance to break free?
Or am I destined to this tragic destiny?
I pray for the strength, to fight this raging war
Before the darkness claims me, and I'm no more.
Help me, please, help me, I don't know what to do
Before I lose you, and myself too. The bottle's empty, and so am I.
